From a distant point of view, the NBA community would tune into the LA Clippers’ games and see Kawhi Leonard, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and seven-time All-Defensive forward, ripping the ball free and going coast-to-coast. This is his nature, and something he has done for 13 seasons and counting.
However, Clippers fans saw a more offensive-dominant version of Leonard. He would skip past defenders and exert a level of force that could not be overpowered, to enter his bag, and drive in or stop for a fadeaway in the lost art of the midrange.
